Owner of 2nd Chrysler 300
I just traded my 2005 300 for a 2010. I made one mistake, should have gotten the 3.5 engine. The only complaint I have is a whinning noise when using the A/C. The buttons on the key are real easy to push by accident. Otherwise this is a GREAT car for the money. The price is very reasonable compared to Cadillac & others of equal size and quality. Smooth ride & easy to drive.
Chrysler 300 C 2009 Heritage Edition
I purchased a gold, 2009 Heritage Edition with 4017 miles on it from NC. Flew from St. Louis, MO and I drove it 883 miles home and only filled up once! The MDS kicked in for most of the trip and I got 27 mpg on the highway. Fuel economy is excellent considering the vehicle's size and weight. Acceleration is terrific and speed builds quickly. The seats are very comfortable although the view out the windows take some getting used to. Rear view is pinched to say the least. Ergonomically, the car is great as everything is right where it's supposed to be. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone else.

Fabulous Car
I bought my 2010 300 Touring eight months ago (Feb. 2016). At that time it had 70K miles. I've added another 10K, and so far the car has performed beautifully. Other than oil changes the only expense has been to buy a spare key ($315) and new tires ($700). I've taken a couple of short distance (150 miles or so) trips and the car rides like a dream. City mpg runs about 17.5-18.0; highway about 24 mpg. I feel very secure driving the car. I would recommend the Chrysler 300. I've now owned the car for over a year and can still highly recommend the 300. It's very reliable and comfortable to drive. Only normal service work, i.e. oil changes, has been needed. The car now has 92,000 miles on it. Still providing perfectly reliable service. The only repair work I’ve had to do was to replace the drivers door handle. I still highly recommend a Chrysler 300. My 300 now has over 96,000 and continues to be trouble free. Highly recommend a Chrysler 300.

Muscle with Luxury
I have to admit, going from a highpower two seater to this monster was quite a shock. I really enjoy getting out of a vehicle unwrinkled. I have an incredible amount of raw horsepower under the hood. I mean those fancy two seat cars are fun but no real dignity or comfort climbing in and out of one. The SRT8 not only has comfort and ease of handling but an incredible amount of space in the interior. Way to old these days to entertain in the back seat but this baby could hold an entire salesman convention party. We're talking more room in the front seat of the 300 than a Range Rover front seat.
WOW! Perfect combo of Sport and luxury
I love it. Bought it yesterday and drove 300 miles home. 24.8 mpg going 73 mph on a 5.7L V8, WOW. JOY TO THE WORLD! I test drove BMW 550i, 535i, Benz E. Almost half price as the Germans w same options, the Chrysler has better style, more comfort, the seats are great and beautiful, more room, better sound system, no-one else has the HEMI, u-connect (bluetooth) is great. Touch screen Navigation, easy to use. No scrolling through pages to get to what you need. You get SO MUCH more for your money. I love the wheels, exterior look, a great cross between the 300C and SRT. This is what I have been waiting for. Remote start, Germans can't do that? Gotta go get some milk, any excuse to drive, HA! L
The car that starts itself
This is my 2nd 300 with a hemi. 06 was great. Wanting to upgrade, I went to a 10 model. A great car but since purchasing in feb., has been in the shop 5 times. First time after hearing noises on sharp turns, found out that the factory had put the wrong rack and pinion steering on this model. Then the fun began. The car started itself in the garage one night at midnight. After a trip to the ownership, was told that it was fixed, it started again in the garage. Detroit told the dealer that if I had AT&T land line or computer, that it would interfere with the electronics. After 2 weeks back in the shop, was given 2 new key fobs with an AT&T blocker on them. As of 1 week, "no Christine"
A classic in waiting
I couldn't be happier with the overall experience of this car. Just over 38k miles now, it's still brand new in every way. Power on tap is un-limited! Extremely quiet, ride is "sporty" for such a big car. Never feels heavy, really nimble actually. You do get jostled a bit, but when hitting curves, there's a sense they aren't even there. Talk out there in blogs has this model pinned for being collector car worthy in the future. Chrysler got it right on this one. The re-style is nice, but not comparable to this last beauty produced. Romp on it under an overpass with sunroof open and hear the twin pipes roar like a muscle car. It's a luxo freeway cruiser in supreme-sublime style and function.
Very Classy car
I just get at bought this car and I love it. The interior design is very up to date and comfortable. While the exterior design is very classy. I was looking to purchase a Dodge Charger but after a lot of research decided to go with the 300. I am more that pleased with my decision. I can tell you that this is a vehicle that I will have for a very long time
excellent car
I traded in my 2007 SRT Design for a 09 300c SRT8 (wish I would have purchased the SRT8 to start with) the 07 was nice but the performance increase with the 6.1 Hemi is amazing. Even at 4000+ pounds this car performs! And the looks, well, I see guys driving Mercedes checking my car out while driving down the road or at stop lights. Anyone looking for a incredibly fun car to drive and one that will get you looks from everyone else, the 300C is the car, go with SRT8 if you can afford it.
Das Wonderful 2010 Chrysler 300C
I bought my 2010 Chrysler 200C used in November of 2015 and I am very satisfied with the car. It is very comfortable, rides wonderfully, very quiet, and the sound system is superb. We’ve crossed country twice in it and by the end of a full day of driving you are tired but not exhausted like with a small car. The Hemi on the open highway is at its best when cruising at 70 and 80 miles an hour. The comfortable seats and quietness of the car make for a pleasant trip. Our maintenance costs have been minimal. We are approaching 100,000 miles, I recently replaced the front struts and a sensing switch in the fuel system. In four years other than oil changes and other routine things those are the only extra costs we’ve had. We plan to keep the car until the 2021s come out and then purchase a new 2021 300C.

American Car
Great value! It stands out in crowded parking lots or in traffic without the snobbery of some higher-priced European and Asian competitors. It is fun to drive, good acceleration, and fuel economy for a large, heavy car is very good, 20-21 in town and 26-28 on the road. The 300 has comfort, ease of handling, and an incredible amount of space in the interior. Simply love the car. Buy American.
Saved my families life
I just bought this car less than a month ago with 25,000 Km on it. 3 days ago another driver drove flat out into the side of it (didn't even hit the brakes). Both doors were hit. I had the head light assembly of her car drilled into the metal of my car. The drivers door would not open after impact and there was a 1 inch gap between the drivers door and frame of the car. Her car did not breach the interior passenger space. The windows didn't break and I did not have side airbags either. The entire drivers side of the car is caved in and we got out alive with no cuts and no broken bones. If we had been in a smaller car I have no doubt we would be in intensive care right now.
LOVE THE POWER
So far i have no concerns. The car is everything i want in a sedan.I love the power, ride and the looks i get when i drive it. Since i live in the snow belt i put snow tires on it and i have no complaints in handling.My car has all options and for the money i would recommend it as one to buy. I had a 2006 SRT8 but i wanted to drive and have the power in the winter.
Luxury for a price you can't beat!
For the money, pound for pound the Chrysler 300 cannot be beat. Luxury is a word that must be aquated with this nicely presented sedan. It's styling on both the exterior and interior leave very little to want. For your buck the 300 Touring AWD edition with the 5.7 liter engine is the best of the several purchase options. It has enough umpth for your lead foot, and leaves room in your budget to add some of the best options that Chrysler offers. If you can price any other sedan in its class with exactly the same options then give it a try...I have a feeling however that you will migrate back to a car that offers the very best in style, class and luxury. 300 is still the king of the concrete.
Love the 300 S8
The mid year 300 S8 package is a great car with an amazing list of standard options for the price. The interior is sporty and comfortable and all the electronic gadgets are easy to use and within reach of the driver. Press the gas on this sleeper and you'll be quickly reminded this ain't your Daddy's Chrysler.
Still stands out.
I bought this baby right off the showroom floor. Mine has the white exterior with the gray leather interior which all the "Ss" have. The options included with my S8 package are what sold me. Plus, the wheels and exterior package make it unique enough that I felt I didn't need to step up to the SRT. The HEMI more than comforts my need for power and it handles more than adequately for a car its size.
I'm Back for More.
I bought one of the first redsigned 2005 Jade Green 300C's in March 2004. I thought it was an unbelievable car for the $$'s. After 70,000 miles I traded it in for the 2009 300C Clearwater Blue, fully optioned. It's a handful with additional 19hp. It's a phenominal highway car. It has 2,000 miles on it. I just did a trip from Long Island to western Virginia. It averaged 24.1 miles/per gallon over 420 miles. Chrysler tweaked the MDS system so that it runs on 4 cylinders more often, even at 70 miles plus per hour, with a special "ECO" light which tells when MDS is on. The ride is plush and heavy. Made the trip in 5:52 hours averaging 71mph. The seats are so comfortable one can drive forever
From 2006 Chrysler 300C to 2009 Limited
Recently went from an 06 300C to an 09 300 LTD. While leaving the Hemi was disappointing the interior upgrades and overall ride are better. The LTD is missing electronic steering adjust, memmory seats and back up sensors but has better leather, LCD radio, nicer console with plentiful wood trim, soft leather covers on console and doors and other nice touches. The real disapointment is in the smoothness of the 3.5 engine. While I knew the performance would be avaerage, it is not tight and balanced like other notable V6 engines. The 6cyl and Hemi produce equivalent mpg. Overall I'm satisfied but would love to drive an 09 Hemi with improved hp. HP is a big part of the luxury and identity.
Fantastic car great price
Low road noise, GREAT power from the 5.7, and a delicious ride from this sexy looking car. Has all of the power of my 1970 Firebird 400 (With a rebuilt motor), and turns just as many heads. Although I have not quite hit 1,000 miles on the 300C yet, This is without question my favorite car I've ever owned. Very good turning radius for a big car. At 24 HWY MPG on a brand new car, it's not awful. In town at 16.5 could be worse.
Love it but second week was not good
I love this vehicle. I've got the heritage package with inferno red tintcoat so it is loaded and a real head turner. I also got a fantastic deal. I've had the car for three weeks and the second week was spent in the shop. The car suddenly stopped excelerating...over 3000 RPMs at less than 20 mph and the engine light came on. A faulty part that regulates the speed caused the car to try to shut down. It was fixed under warranty and I was told this is a one in a million defect (I hope), hence the 9 rating on build quality and reliability instead of 10. I was looking at Cadillac CTS when I came across this car. Value for the money, the 300 beats the CTS.
Great car!
This vehicle had 209,000 miles when I bought it 9 years ago and has been a really good car. It has never failed to start and has had very few mechanical issues except for the front end. Ball joints, etc. but with the miles on it I was expecting those issues. I consistently get 30 mpg on the highway so I am very happy with that. It currently has 262,000 and is still running very well.

World Class in Every Way!
My recent "300" purchase made for my ninth Chrysler product in a row and this is by far the best vehicle I ever owned. I trade every three years and never thought I would get over parting with my Vanilla White Chrysler PT-Cruiser Turbo, another gem. Once I adjusted to the larger, 300 Touring Special Edition, I was thrilled with my decision to acquire this extremely roomy, powerful, compliant, well executed and stately sedan. The metallic blue I choose is stunning and turns many heads. If not for the simplification of the PT- Cruiser, I would have bought another and not realized how appealing the 300 is. I cannot wait for the all new model due out fairly soon, yet the '10 is tried and true!
Signature Series AWD
I've only had it for 10 days; but I'm already in love with it. We took a trip up into the mountains with it the second day and she handles and drives like a dream. I chose the 300 because I wanted a luxury sedan capable of towing 2000 lbs. That is a short list; and the 300 is by far the best bang for the bucks; and in my opinion; the best looking of the lot. I await the 1st snowstorm to she how she does then. I'll update this post when I've got some miles on her.
Signature Series AWD
I've only had it a week; but absolutely love it! I needed a sedan that would tow 2000 lbs; and there are few that fit the bill. The 300 is by far the best looking of the bunch and the most affordable with great options. I choose the V6/ 5 spd for the fuel mileage and will update the post when I have some miles on it. The selling dealer was awesome to work with and would highly recommend them to anyone interested.
best all weather performance sedan
Drive at 75 to 85 mph and consistently get 19 to 21 mpg. Excellent handling and performance. Very capable on snow and ice with auto-4wheel drive. Love the car but am unhappy that I can not get another with v8 and awd. The newer multi-gear trans. in this car would have been very nice. I may have to look at other brands now when I replace this one.

Bad Statement/Decision on Chryslers Part
last yr I purchased a 2009 Chrysler 300 Touring love the car but when I first purchased the car I noticed that at the top of the doors there is a trim piece that had what appeared to be 2 separate pcs per door not impressive but not a deal breaker now a yr later it appears that these are just cheap pcs as there are multiple cracks in ea. Called Chrysler and was told due to the age of the car 3 yrs and the milage part has NOTHING to do w/miles I would have to pay some of the repair bill which I dont agree with. Not a seat that I ripped or stone chips I want fixed I dont see how this is a wear and tear issue. I am truly thinking of getting rid of the car and not purchasi
Large car with good gas mileage and comfort
I've had no problems with this car. Took on one long distance trip and cruised 85 mph with no strain on engine. Tech read 2500 rpm @ 85mph. Great driving around city too!

2009 300C AWD
I bought the 300 new in June of 09. I got the "cool vanilla" paint with the chrome package, and the thing is absolutely gorgeous. I average 24.8 mpg hwy, & 16.8 mpg in city driving, which is good, considering it's a 5.7L with AWD. It has power to spare, to go with the good looks, and it handles well for a large, domestic car. It is not in the same class as the Europeans as far as handling is concerned, but for the thousands of dollars less your paying, I'd say it's a fair trade off. I'm looking forward to the 2011 model with, hopefully, some tweaks in the suspension system as well as improved fuel economy.
TOO LOW RIDER
The front end is too low. I have torn off 2 plastic under belly pans, the entire front bumper cover on curbs and parking stops. the front end easily slides right over a parking stop upon entering a parking place. Pulls the entire belly pan or front bumper cover off when backing out. I have even replaced the 20" stock hells with 18" wheels so I could put a larger bias rated tire to lift the front end with no cure. I love the car, I hate to park it. NEVER VALET.

The 1 Reason Chrysler Should Survive!
I've loved this car since it first debuted in 2005 & now I finally have 1. It's every bit as exciting as I thought it would be. Amazing power from the 5.7 L HEMI when you need it (cylinders deactivate when cruising, so it runs like a 4 cylinder to save on fuel economy). Excellent interior quality. Awesome sounding stereo. Sexy yet menacing exterior. Quietest & comfiest ride I've ever been in. Highly reccomended & right now it's still on sale. I saved almost $15K on mine!
Second 300
Love my 300. I had a 1996 300 that I really enjoyed but I did have some trouble in the winter since my area is very hilly, and I must drive when it snows. So I did not think twice about trading it in as soon as payed off so I could buy the awd model. It has been great! My fuel mileage only went down by a hair over 1 mpg and it is great in the snow.
Great ride!
I actually have a 2010 300 Limited AWD 3.5L V6, the Canadian version. The MyGIG with no NAV allows up to 28 gigs of music (software, etc. takes up the remaining space). It is a great feature, easy to add music via USB and there is an aux jack as well. The vehicle's ride is great, an excellent cruiser with a superb comfort level. The vehicle is well built out of Brampton, Ontario. The dealership was pleasant to do business with, and had the vehicle delivered in a timely manner (built to order). The vehicle is very spacious (I'm 6'1" and fit comfortably), and the AWD works wonders for harsh Canadian winters. Dual front auto climate control is a nice feature as well.
Pretty happy. No major complaints
2010 300 limited 3.5 bought in 2015 with 80,000 kms. Stored every winter. Now has 156,000 kms. Basic maintenance done on car. Main complaint is chryslers esthetic quality is kinda bad. I've had weather stripping come off, factory amplifier died, rear bumper started sagging, chrome trim on the interior is bubbling and flaking. Besides that, no major repairs done in 6 years. Rear brakes, outer tie rod, torque arms, serpentine belt, valve cover gaskets and rear diff seals have been all I have replaced. All in all a great car. 8/10.

Unbelievable Value
Returned a leased 2007 300C AWD and bought this one, fearing Chrysler will not make such a big heavy powerful car again. I bought Inferno red again and it still turns heads, especially with a new Bently front grill. I used to get a Cadillac STS every two years until 2007 when I realized this is a more beautiful car and has everything an STS has, plus much more, at a much lower price.
Good car...in a straight line
When this model came out in 2005 it was very striking, but the flashy looks are beginning to fade (PT Cruiser, anyone?). The 300 is a great highway cruiser but in any turns at 15+ mph the tires begin to squeal. The car heaves around corners like a boat and visibility makes reverse maneuvering difficult. Gas mileage is also poor at 17 city. The Impala has just as much punch, handles better, and gets 20 city/29 highway. Also, for $32k I would expect the leather to be real and not vinyl made to look like leather. When accelerating there is a brief lag between hitting the gas and the car accelerating. Most US manufacturers have this issue, would be more precise with drive by wire technology.
Timing chain failure @81.5k being replaced at 50k
Mopar has completely failed on this car. I now have to replace my engine after their timing chain broke at 81.5k after being replaced at 53k via recall. Their recall did nothing to fix the problem. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. The timing chain will break and you'll have to buy an engine. I'll never buy another car from this company or an subsidiary. Go Honda or Toyota. This car has nickel and dimed me since I bought it with 33k miles on it.

Less than pleased
This car is fairly fun to drive, good acceleration, and fuel economy for a large, heavy car is good, 19-20 in town and 26-28 on the road. It has HORRIBLE ground clearance, the front air dam cannot even clear a normal 5- 6" high wheel stop and drags when turning in to a driveway that has any kind of drainageway on the side of the road. In 5" of snow, the bottom of the vehicle dragged. Also, the doors do not stay open if parked on the slightest angle. The color options were poor in Phoenix, there was only Cool Vanilla available with the GPS navigation option.

Go for all the bells and whistles, wish I had but I will with my next 300

Drives like a Rose!
I bought my 2010 Chrysler 300 touring back in 2022 I am the second owner. The first owner actually flipped the car and a crazy accident and with that being said the car still drives excellently I had no problems whatsoever except having to rebuild the transmission in 2024 of course 14 year old car is about time you know in fact I was told that I was lucky because usually the transmission goes out in the first 10 years so the fact that it took 14 years I have no complaints you know eventually you have to overhaul a car for the most part I love this car it is a fun ride it's extremely smooth and it drives like a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce for sure you know and I'm extremely admirative of my car and I really plan on doing nothing better but upgrading I plan on sticking with the Chrysler 300 and just upgrading to earlier years I had a mechanic that actually started sabotaging my car when I allowed him to start working on it it's like soon as he started working on it it was like every five or six weeks something else will go wrong with my car and I kept telling them like something's wrong because I've had this car for 2 years with no problem except for that transmission and soon as I start letting him work on it it was like he was sabotaging me come to find out I was exactly right I had gotten a fuel pump system and my water pump system fixed 4 weeks behind each other when the fuel pump system went out I had to have the car towed and only then that I realized that the $900 I spent to fix the water pump system had not been fixed the same problem was still you know occurring delete and everything so I took it to another mechanic and two other mechanics actually and they both said the same thing that it needed the job wasn't done he didn't do it at all or he put old parts one of the other and the new mechanic that actually fixed it he only charged to me $105 oh my God compared to the $900 that I paid those other people needless to say I am sicked ICE on the old mechanics that was sabotaging my car because they were all non English speaking Mexicans and I can almost guarantee that most if not all were undocumented so that's how I got them back by sending ice in there on them cuz they charged me thousands and thousands of dollars in just a year and a half time I have spent more than $9,000 on fixings in there that didn't even need to be fixed they were sabotaging it. So be very cautious on who you allow to fix on this car because it is a very sensitive car I wound up with that other mechanic because my usual mechanic that I have for 15 years when I bought this car he refused to work on it he said he didn't like working on them because they were too sensitive and I went to five other mechanics in Los Angeles that actually said the exact same thing then what you difficult they didn't like to you know fix on them because they were fickle even my friend that used to fix on my Mercedes-Benz is when I had my receipts he didn't even want to fix up and I'm like well you know Chrysler is like a a foreign car European car because they're derived from Canada you know so that's why they're a bit different from your average American car they're being passed off as an American muscle but it's not really American muscle it's Canadian muscle and only thing about the difficulty of them is everything is so close together like how my Mercedes-Benz was that's what I hated about that it was so expensive to fix because everything was so close together so they had to move so many different things in order to get to one thing so the labor was out the window so keep your car up if you have a Chrysler because if you let it go it will it's very expensive to fix so you might as well just trade me henna get rid of it and get another one or something you know but yeah excellent car I love it better than the Cadillac to me I've had three Cadillacs in my life and this by far drives much better much smoother and the speed it it if you get there fast you know it doesn't take no time to pick up speed and I have the 3.5 l engine I was was not interested into two points and 2.6 at all but it is a gas guzzler cuz it has twin cams the 3.5 2.6 doesn't but the 3.5 has twin cams for people that may not know about this car but it is an excellent choice if you like luxury and speed at the same time. By the way are you Chrysler lovers you must go and check out the new 2025 Chrysler it is the sexiest car I have ever seen go check it out
A Dream...
Loved it... after a lady crashed in to me at 65mph on the freeway I can say the impact was not little, the car is the safest I have driven and is now out and about after a $17000 repair with original parts. I loved my 300, short after it got stolen... I will buy one again!
Best car in the world
This is the best car in the world. Incredibly roomy, huge trunk, smooth ride. I got the long wheelbase though, and its engine is not nearly adequate. No AWD option either!? Needs more options too.
the chrysler 300
I own a 300, and I must say it's quite the car, but definitely has issues. first off, the v6 3.5 is no weak thing, even though it doesn't compare to the v8, it still has quite the power to it. now to the problems. some of them have been with the electrics. the worst one was the air conditioning which completely went out and cost a lot of money to fix, so if you're looking for a simple car, this isn't it. mine is on its second engine, the first one even the mechanic wasn't sure what happened mine has around 170k miles on it, and the transmission, although outdated, holds up well.

With all the discounts now offered this car is an unblievable bargain. There are many improvements over the 2007 300C which I returned after a 27 month lease. This car I bought, paying 0% financing for 36 months, with nothing down. The beauty of this car, plus the inferno red color I have, is still a head turner, even though the car first appeared in 2005. From 1995 to 2007 I leased a Cadillac STS every 2 years (6 cars). A Chrysler 300C, with options, surpasses Cadillac in every way; looks, power, performance, and most all, price. Regarding fuel economy, you can't expect a large heavy V8 to be fuel efficient.
